Me getting ready to crush my day and then a migraine comes.

So today, I put in practice what my therapist challenged me to think about:

This is what my body is today, or at least for the next several hours.

Gotta let it be instead of punish myself for being “weak,” which is an ableist socialized thought I won’t own.

How many times a day do we punish ourselves or call ourselves weak for stuff *we literally can’t control?*

Society treats everything about us, from our looks to our disabilities, as things to be “fixed,” putting us on a hamster wheel of feeling like failures.

People are also terrible w this stuff. I stopped telling folks why I had to move meetings around so much because the truth didn’t matter. We internalize the ice that we are “lazy” when we’re actually strong af cause we push thru chronic pain daily.

Gon somewhere w that.

So yeah, I don’t feel my best today at all. I’ve managed my migraines the best in my life thru a major diet, exercise & sleep pattern change and I still have absolutely terrible ones.

That’s me . I will not carry the abelist BS the world puts on that reality. It’s not mine.
